Trail Overview
Whitlow Ranch is an easy trail with great views of the mountains and the surrounding desert. There are a lot of wild animals in this area, giving you the chance to see deer, coyotes, javelina, tarantulas, and Gila monsters. Some of the trail is only wide enough for one vehicle, but there are areas to pull off to allow others to pass. The ranch house is halfway through the trail, and somebody does live there, so be respectful when driving through. This land is also leased to ranchers, so be on the lookout for cattle. It does go through Arizona State Trust Land, which requires a permit.
Difficulty
The trail is easy with a small area that goes through a sandy wash. No 4WD needed, but there are areas where the water has caused the road to wash out a bit. There is a small portion of the trail that is only wide enough for one vehicle, requiring oncoming vehicles to move off the trail to pass.
